This may have been done in the past on sajha, but being a newcomer, I am venturing to create this thread where people can post their favorite lyrics, in any language (Hopefully comprehensible to some of us, at least! :)). I'm sure we've all had moments when a certain pair or stanza of lyrics have simply mermerized us---without a glance, without a touch, without a sigh....only with words. Sharing is caring bhanchhan--let this be yet another occassion, then! :) All genres welcome--after all, lyrical taste is subjective ni ta, hoina ra????

I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no satisfaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car And that man comes on the radio He's tellin' me more and more About some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination I can't get no, oh no no no Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no satisfaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV And that man comes on to tell me How white my shirts can be But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke The same cigarrettes as me I can't get no, oh no no no Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no girl reaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' round the world And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that And I'm tryin' to make some girl Who tells me baby better come back later next week 'Cause you see I'm on losing streak I can't get no, oh no no no Hey hey hey, that's what I say

I can't get no, I can't get no I can't get no satisfaction No satisfaction, no satisfaction, no satisfaction

Lately I've been listening to a lot of songs written by none other than the phenomenal Gulzar Sahab. It's my dream to meet him in person one day. Until then, I'll just listen to the songs penned by this living legend. Here's one of my fav verses from a movie song. It is so simple yet deep and magical and every time i listen to it transcends me to a different level of awareness.

I've created a monster, cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more They want Shady, I'm chopped liver Well if you want Shady, this is what I'll give ya A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor Some vodka to jump start my heart quicker than the shocks when I get shocked at the hospital when the doctor when I'm not co-operating When I'm rockin the table while he's operating You waited this long, now stop debating Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney but your husband's heart problem's complicating So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me, so let me see They try to shut me down on MTV But it feels so empty, without me So, come on and dip, bum on your lips Fu** that, cu* on your lips, and some on your ti** And get ready, cause this shit's about to get heavy I just settled all my lawsuits, Fu** You Debbie!

Now this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me I said-this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me

Little Hallions, kids feelin rebellious Embarrassed their parents still listen to Elvis They start feelin like prisoners helpless 'til someone comes along on a mission and yells BITCH!!! A visionary, vision of scary Could start a revolution, pollutin the airwaves A rebel, so just let me revel and bask in the fact that I got everyone kissin my ass And it's a disaster, such a castastrophe for you can see so damn much of my ass; you asked for me? Well I'm back, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Fix your damn antenna tune it in and then I'm gonna enter in, under your skin like a splinter The center of attention, back for the winter I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling Investing in your kid's ears a nest egg Testing, attention please Feel the tension, soon as someone mentions me Here's my ten cents, my two cents is free A nuisance, who sent? You sent for me?

Now this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me I said-this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me

A-tisket a-tasket, I go tit for tat with anybody who's talkin this shit, that shit Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked worse than those little Limp Bizkit bastards And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie You thirty-six year old boy fag, blow me You don't know me, you're too old, let go It's over, nobody listens to techno Now let's go, just gimme the signal I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults I been dope, suspenseful with a pencil ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol But sometimes the shit just seems everybody only wants to discuss me So this must mean I'm dis-gus-ting But it's just me, I'm just obscene And though I'm not the first king of controversy I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley do black music so selfishly and used it to get myself wealthy Here's a concept that works

Here's my fav part :-)

Twenty million other white rappers emerge But no matter how many fish in the sea It'll be so empty, without me

Gulzar, indeed a good poet. But Javed Akhter.....there is no comparison. His songs are simple and sweet...No matter it is from Silsila, Saath Saath,Border..........to Laagan all of 'em are equally well written. The most beautiful lyrics he ever wrote is Afreen Afreen.....

Kasto senti senti ganaharuko line lagyaeko yo sabai janale , bhayena ni , that is just one side of the coin ni! The fact that the soft, senti, touchy, philoshopical hymns, poems, songs etc soothes ones oneself is indisputable, for many a times the songs relate to what one has gone through in his/ her life.Also, mere patriotic songs many a times seem to genrate that effect in one's soul by stirring up the emotions. At the same time, one cannot deny the other side of the coin where the parodies or humurous songs in that matter, are easily accepted by a good hearted soul. Sometimes, that other side gives me pleasure too Such as:

Beaten weary lost along the way Tired of thirst till words I could not say Then he came walking by He looked into my eyes He felt my need and stopped to rescue me. Other came and others went on by Refused to stop or even pause to try Alone at last I sat, my head fell slowly back And words from deep within me reached the sky. I'm hungry please feed me, I'm naked please clothe me Won't someone---come to me? The sounds of my words died Oh well, at least I tried For trying seemed the only thing to do....

Lyrics: Seal Why must we dream in Metaphors?

Lyrics: Gavin (from BUSH) They painted up your secrets With the lies they told to you And the least they ever gave you Was the most you ever knew And you wonder where these dreams go When the world gets in your way What's the point in all this screamin? No one's listenin anyway.

In peace.

Hmmmm.....good work by Kalankistanji and Chipledhungaji....for providing some comic relief in the midst of "senti senti" songs, as per Dumbasse jyu...i mean it as a compliment! :) Thoroughly enjoyed laughing to them! ;)

It’s hard for me to separate lyrics from the entire song. Some of my favorite songs don’t have particularly memorable lyrics. I’ve been listening a lot lately to the “O Brother Where Art Thou” soundtrack, and “Man of Constant Sorrow” is terrific, but the lyrics are unremarkable, like much of bluegrass or traditional American folk. (I love bluegrass, but certainly not for the lyrics!!!)

For fun tongue-in-cheek stuff, check out Christine Lavin (Sensitive New Age Guys, Cold Pizza for Breakfast, etc). Or download Dana Lyons’ “RV” and “Cows with Guns” from his website. A terrific enviro lyricist is Daryl Cherney, but his stuff isn’t downloadable yet.

Anyway, one of my favorite bands has, I think, never done a pure romantic lyric in its 30-year history–which must be some sort of record.

There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go, no one may follow That path is for your steps alone

... Or (different song) ...

In another time’s forgotten space your eyes looked through your mother’s face wildflower seed on the sand and stone may the four winds blow you safely home

some come to laugh the past away some come to make it just one more way whichever way your pleasure tends if you plant ice, you’re gonna harvest wind

Don't you girls feel proud after listening to this song? If I were a girl I would be Proud. What a straight forward writing.

Harey sitara Ji,

Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues

Used to be so easy to give my heart away But I've found that the hard way is a price you have to pay I found that that love was no friend of mine I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago but I still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again I've found that the hard way it's a way that leads to pain I've found that love was more than just a game to play and to win but to lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago but I still got the blues for you

so many years since I've seen your face and now in my heart there's an empty space where you used to be

Though the days come and go there's one thing I know I still got the blues for you

wah wah! Soul free ji....Nice! :)

You can add: Gloria Gaynor

"once I was afraid,I was petrified, just thinking I could never live, without you by my side

but then I held my head up high just thinking how you did me wrong and I grew strong, and I learned how to get a along go on now go, walk out the door just turn around now cause you not welcome anymore... ........................................ ........................................

I WILL SURVIVE!!!

Funny thing is I have heard this song in every form: oldie and remixed......... the clubs still play it kyare..... Every gal's survival song with a catchy beat to it. So forget your sorrows and dance to your heart's content, your body's desire and your soul's fire!

The following list of songs is from a poll..... The poll is fairly new and to early to form any proper sort of chart, but below are the 20 most popular lyrics-

I also regret leaving most of my CD's in kathmandu. I thought, since I was going to USA, I'd buy it there. When I came here and went to the store to buy it, I almost fainted. Too much $$'s.

Thanks to Kazaa, I recovered most of my songs.

about that Gloria Gaynor's song... That song is simply amazing. It just makes you feel good. Obviously, It made me feel good when you wrote that song. Isn't that amazing song? I still remember watching "Replacements" starring Keanu Reeves. Like you said, they have used this song in every possible form in the movie. It was great watching Replacements.

-- Bille Jean by MJ is great song... --Not much into Pink Floyed... i gotta start listening to them pretty soon before I die. --Queen's >> i'd rather choose "KILLER QUEEN" ... that song is killer --BOSS>> id rather choose "secret garden" (makes me cry) and every other songs that were used as a movie sound track (tunnel of love, philladelphia etc) --GNR >> ... i am still into "MR BROWNSTONE"... that song rocks

Soulfree bro, I think Pink Floyed songs are still great.... I think you don't need to be up in the smoke to enjoy their psychedelic music/lyrics. Their music itself has enough capability to put you into a state of HIGH!!!

GNR...I started to hate GNR ever since I really understood their lyrics! ---What Axl whacks on his rough tracks--- Notice this song - "One In A Million"

Immigrants and faggots They make no sense to me They come to our country And think they'll do as they please Like start some mini Iran, Or spread some f*** disease They talk so many goddamn ways It's all Greek to me Well some say I'm lazy And others say that's just me Some say I'm crazy I guess I'll always be But it's been such a long time Since I knew right from wrong It's all the means to an end, I I keep it movin' along

You're one in a million Oo, you're a shooting star You're one in a million, babe You know that you are Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo oh, Before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you But you were much too high

Some of my fav english songs are Everybody hurts When the day is long And the night, the night is yours alone When you're sure you've had enough of this life Well hang on Don't let yourself go 'cause everybody cries And everybody hurts Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong Now it's time to sing along When your day is night alone (Hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go (Hold on) If you think you've had too much of this life Well hang on

If you're on your own in this life The days and nights are long When you think you've had too much of this life To hang on Well, everybody hurts Sometimes, everybody cries And everybody hurts Sometimes And everybody hurts Sometimes

She calls out to the man on the street, sir, can you help me? It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me He walks on, doesn't look back, he pretends he can't hear her He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarassed to be there Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise Just think about it

She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she's been crying She's got blisters on the soles of her feet, she can't walk, but she's trying

Oh, just think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise Just think about it, aha, just think about it

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell by the lines on her face, you can see that she's been there Probably they moved on from everyplace, 'cos she didn't fit in there

Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise Just think about it, aha, just think about it

It's just another day for you and me in paradise It's just another day for you and me in paradise It's just another day for you and me in paradise It's just another day for you and me in paradise It's just another day for you, it's another day for you and me It's another day for you and me in paradise In paradise, oho, oho, oh yeah

Adam's Song - (4:09)

I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall no wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up the choice was mine I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on but you'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never conquered, rarely came but 16 just held such better days days when I still felt alive we couldn't wait to get outside the world was wide, too late to try the tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home to pass the time in my room alone

I never thought I'd die alone another six months I'll be unknown give all my things to all my friends you'll never step foot in my room again you'll close it off, you'll board it up remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall and please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered, rarely came but 16 just held such better days days when I still felt alive we couldn't wait to get outside the world was wide, too late to try the tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home to pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came but tomorrow holds such better days days when I can still feel alive and I can't wait to get outside the world is wide, the time goes by the tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home to pass the time in my room alone

Us And Them Lyrics by Roger Waters.

Us and Them And after all we're only ordinary men Me, and you God only knows it's not what we would choose to do Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died And the General sat, and the lines on the map moved from side to side Black and Blue And who knows which is which and who is who Up and Down And in the end it's only round and round and round Haven't you heard it's a battle of words the poster bearer cried Listen son, said the man with the gun There's room for you inside

Down and Out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about Get out of the way, it's a busy day And I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond Lyrics Roger Waters

Remember when you were young you shone like the sun shine on you crazy diamond now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky shine on you crazy diamond you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom blown on the steel breeze come on you target for faraway laughter come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! you reached for the secret too soon you cried for the moon shine on you crazy diamond threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light shine on you crazy diamond well you wore out your welcome with random precision rode on the steel breeze come on you raver, you seer of visions come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! nobody knows where you are how near or how far shine on you crazy diamond pile on many more layers and i'll be joining you there shine on you crazy diamond and we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph and sail on the steel breeze come on you boy-child, you winner and loser come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Two jumps in a week I bet you think thats pretty clever don't you boy???? Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the grounds beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition, kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another mirror now you're turning into somthing you are not....

HIGH AND DRY...Radiohead....

THE TEMPLE OF THE KING

One day, in the Year of the Fox Came a time remembered well, When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell. One day in the Year of the Fox, When the bell began to ring, It meant the time had come for one to go To the temple of the king.

There in the middle of the circle he stands, Searching, seeking. With just one touch of his trembling hand, The answer will be found. Daylight waits while the old man sings, "Heaven help me!" And then like the rush of a thousand wings, It shines upon the One. And the day has just begun.

One day in the Year of the Fox Came a time remembered well, When the strong young man of the rising sun Heard the tolling of the great black bell. One day in the Year of the Fox, When the bell began to sing It meant the time had come for the One to go To the temple of the king.

There in the middle of the people he stands, Seeing, feeling. With just a wave of the strong right hand, he's gone To the temple of the king.

Far from the circle, at the edge of the world, He's hoping, wondering. Thinking back on the stories he's heard of What he's going to see. There, in the middle of a circle it lies. "Heaven help me!" Then all could see by the shine in his eyes The answer had been found.

Back with the people in the circle he stands, Giving, feeling. With just one touch of a strong right hand, they know Of the temple and the king.

temple of the king....hahaha...brings back lots of memories. My favourite Rainbow song was 'street of dreams'.

I heard the sound of voices in the night, Spell bound there was someone calling, I looked around no on was sight Pulled down I just kept on falling I've seen this place before You were standing by my side I've seen your face before tonight Maybe I just see what I want to be I know it's a mystery Do you remember me on a street of dreams, Running through my memory On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory So good like we never parted Said to myself I knew you'd set me free And here we are right back where we started Something's come over me And I don't know what to feel Maybe this fantasy is real Now it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams, Running through my memory On the street of dreams You are on every face I see On the street of dreams

Tell me have you always been On the street of dreams Will we ever meet again my friend Do you know just who you'll see do ya On the street of dreams You can be who you want to be oh yeh I can hear you calling me I can feel you haunting me Haunting me

CRYSTAL SHIP Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle rain The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line

___You've Got A Friend____

When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name, and you know whereever I am I'll come running, oh yeah baby to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a friend.

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud and soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer or fall all you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well they'll take your soul if you let them. Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again. Oh babe, don't you know that, Winter spring summer or fall, Hey now, all you've got to do is call. Lord, I'll be there, yes I will. You've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. You've got a friend.

Temple of the King!!!! :) Nice!!!

Doors Fan????? me 2 and All of Pink Floyd's and All of U2, Dire Straits,

Anyone for Raggae? Third World:

"Now that we got love, what are we gonna do... with it?????????????????????????????????????????"

:) Good question No???

Ok... I like the sound of Acoustic guitars too...and among female vocalists, Melissa Etheridge sings with such a passion!!!!! She could be singing for a guy as well as for a girl... ;)

Here is one: Lethal combination of Words and Guitaring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like The Way I Do

Is it so hard to satisfy your senses you found out to love me you have to climb some fences Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you And just when it if feels right you say you found someone to hold you does she like I do

Chorus: Tell me does she love you llike the way I love you Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you

Like the way I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you does she inject you seduce you and affect you

Like the way I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

............................................... Another one: guitar is just as good!!!

Don't You Need

I had a dream late last night The water was running low and my fields were on fire burning my sky My body was moving slow And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire on my mouth And I had realized my heart had abducted my mind

And they were last seen headed south Now I can't sleep I'm so wired And I find myself screaming out

Chorus: Don't you need don't you want Can't you taste it when you're alone Don't you cry don't you feel sometimes I wonder if you are real Don't you bleed Don't you need?????????? ..................................

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people Living in the world agree, There will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is Still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy, There is still a light that shines on me, Shine on until tomorrow, let it be. I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. -------------------------------------------------------- ~DBB

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today...

Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one

Eric Clapton's "You're Wonderful Tonight" is one of my most beloved English songs! :)

It's late in the evening. She's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up And brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes, And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize How much I love you.

It's time to go home now, And I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys. She helps me to bed. And then I tell her, As I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

i am not an Elton John fan, I love the lyrics of some of his songs Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John "And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world" >> your song

++++++++++ "Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in mine, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand" >> Tiny Dancer

(remember ALMOST FAMOUS, the movie? This song is the best part of the movie when everyone in the bus sings this song, forgetting everything that had happened to them.)

++++++++++ "Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes"

"Daniel my brother you are older than me Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal Your eyes have died but you see more than I Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky" >> Daniel

Sitara, you seem to be an Eagles fan how about " Lying Eyes"? "The Boxer" and " Bridge over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkel are some my favorites of yesteryear.

Elvis Costello and Jethro Tull has some of the most imaginitive lyrics.

most of bob dylan and leonard cohen songs are my favorites..

How many road must a man walk down before u call him a man how many seas must a white dove sail before it sleeps in the sand how many times must cannon balls fly before they are forever band

the answer my friend is blowing in the wind ... the answer is blowing in the wind...

how many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea how many years can some people exist before they are allowed to be free isnt how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he jsut doesnot see

the answer my friend is blowing in the wind the answer is blowing in the wind

how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky isnt how many ears ,must one man have beFore he can hear people CRY ISNT HOW MANY DEATHS WILL IT TAKE TILL HE KNOWS THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED.. the answer my friend is blowing in the wind.. the answer is blowing in the wind...

thanks!~

I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes....

'TIL I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence Well my house is on fire; burning to the sky I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by Now I feel like I'm coming to the end of my way Boys in the street beginning to play My eyes feel like they're falling off my face Sweat falling down, I'm staring at the floor Well I'm tired of talking; I'm tired of trying to explain Tomorrow night before the sun goes down If I'm still among the living, I'll be Dixie bound ~DYLAN~

Yes this is addictive!

I don't want to miss a thing (Aerosmith)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing, Watch you smile while you are sleeping, While you are far away and dreaming, I could spend my life in this sweet surrender, I could stay lost in this moment forever, Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,

Neil Diamond

Love on the rocks Ain't no surprise Pour me a drink And I'll tell you some lies Got nothin' to lose So you just sing the blues all the time Gave you my heart Gave you my soul You left me alone here With nothing to hold Yesterday's gone Now all I want is a smile....

This is one of the songs I really liked. Great song, Great rhythm. (Just listen the song carefully, and just listen to the Rhythm. This rhythm is simple 4/4 rhythm, but nicely composed. This rhythm sounds something like George Michaels FAITH, but i am not saying its same(you can sing chaiya chaiya in rhythm of faith). But the best thing about the rhythm is, iits the same rhythm thru out the song, but the rhythm pattern keeps on changing almost in every 8 or 16 beat. Great JOB by AR Rahman. And Through out the song, he never repeats the rhythm pattern he had already used in the same song. Either it is overshadowed by other rhythm instrument, or by train Effect.

About it's lyrics, I read in the Interview of Rahman, Mani Ratnam and Rahman decided to choose tough urdu language. Since the movie was about obsessed lover, they wanted to give "Sufi" kind of music in hindi movie. So they met Gulzar, a greatest lyrics writer, and told him that just write the song on the obsessed lover and forget if anybody understands the song or not. And Gulzar provided them with the same thing.

I really liked "Temple of the king" when I was kid. When I grew up, I forgot the title and the artist of the song. I always used to confuse this song with "child in time" by "deep purple". Thanks bro... thats the song I REALLY WANTED,

All I really want to do

I ain't lookin' to compete with you, Beat or cheat or mistreat you, Simplify you, classify you, Deny, defy or crucify you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

No, and I ain't lookin' to fight with you, Frighten you or uptighten you, Drag you down or drain you down, Chain you down or bring you down. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

I ain't lookin' to block you up Shock or knock or lock you up, Analyze you, categorize you, Finalize you or advertise you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to straight-face you, Race or chase you, track or trace you, Or disgrace you or displace you, Or define you or confine you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to meet your kin, Make you spin or do you in, Or select you or dissect you, Or inspect you or reject you. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to fake you out, Take or shake or forsake you out, I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me, See like me or be like me. All I really want to do Is, baby, be friends with you.

A Penny for your thoughts now baby looks like the weight of the world's on your shoulders now I know you think you're goin crazy just when it seems everythings gonna work itself out they drive you right back down

and you say it ain't fair that a man walks when a bird can fly we have to kick the ground the stars kiss the sky they say that spirits live a man has to die: they promised us truth now they're givin' us lies

gonna take a miracle to save us this time and your savior has just left town gonna need a miracle cause it's all on the line and I won't let you down the river of your hope is floodin' and I know the dam is bustin if you need me i'll come runnin I won't let you down oh no--

you're lookin for salvation and you thought that it'd be shinin' like an angel's light well the angels left this nation-- and salvation caught the last train out tonight (we lost a hell of a fight) he said I'm just one man, that's all i'll ever be I never can be everything you wanted from me I've got big plans (so big) that any blind man could see-- i'm standing in the river now I'm drownin in the sea

gonna take a miracle to save us this time and your savior has just left town gonna need a miracle cause your heart's on the line and your heartbeats slowin' down

your feet are grounded still youre reachin for the sky you can let 'em clip youre wings cause I believe that you can fly.

well my eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the flood I've driven deep the thorny crown into the soul of Someone's son-- still I look you in the eyes cause I believe the things i've thought and I'll die without regret for the wars that i have fought

Did anybody get this song? Hope not.... Sorry I am not following this skyrocketing thread!! Blowin' in the wind by BD

How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Rusty ji,

I remember that song from school days!!!!!!!! Oh my god, I still remember pondering on those words!!!!!!!!

Someone asked me to describe How it feels to be in love The first thing that I thought of was your eyes That look you have that tells me Everything I need to know It’s like you reach inside of me And touch my very soul

I have no doubt You are the one The one I’ve waited for The very best My dream come true Couldn’t ask for more There’s nothing I have ever been so sure of You’re all I need to know about love

All my senses come alive Every time I feel your touch I feel like I have wings and I can fly Each moment that I’m with you Is a perfect place in time It’s like Heaven on this Earth Just knowing that you’re mine

I have no doubt You are the one The one I’ve waited for The very best My dream come true Couldn’t ask for more There’s nothing I have ever been so sure of You’re all I need to know about love

My heart is very certain There’s no question in my mind I want to spend my life Right here by your side

I have no doubt You are the one The one I’ve waited for The very best My dream come true Couldn’t ask for more There’s nothing I have ever been so sure of You’re all I need to know You are everything I need to know You’re all I need to know about love

Sitara Ji and kala ji The song "blowin in the wind" was released in 1962. Kalanidhi ji, were you born that time? LOL Anyway, I admire Bob Dylan ever since I heard this song:)

Well I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again but that's not unusual it's just that the moon is full and you happened to call And here I sit, and on the telephone hearing the voice I'd known a couple of light years ago headed straight for a fall But we both know what memories can bring they bring Diamonds and Rust yes we both know what memories can bring they bring Diamonds and Rust

Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around, snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington square Your breath comes out white, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic then give me another word for it you were so good with words and at keeping things vague cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly yes, I love you dearly and if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid But we both know what memories can bring they bring Diamonds and Rust

Quench me when I'm thirsty Come on and cool me down baby when I'm hot Your recipe darling is so tasty And you sure can stir your pot Stir it up, little darling Stir it up, come on baby Come on and stir it up, little darling Stir it up, whoa yeah

The suicide song: Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black coach Of sorrow has taken you Angels have no thoughts Of ever returning you Would they be angry If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday With shadows I spend it all My heart and I Have decided to end it all Soon there'll be candles And prayers that are said I know But let them not weep Let them know that I'm glad to go Death is no dream For in death I’m caressing you With the last breath of my soul I’ll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep In the deep of my heart here Darling I hope That my dream never haunted you My heart is telling you How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday

Sadly one Sunday I waited and waited With flowers in my arms All the dream has created I waited 'til dreams, Like my heart, were all broken The flowers were all dead And the words were unspoken The grief that I know Was beyond all consoling The beat of my heart Was a bell that was tolling Saddest of Sundays Then came a Sunday When you came to find me They bore me to church And I left you behind me My eyes could not see What I wanted to love me The earth and the flowers Are forever above me The bell tolled for me And the wind whispered, "Never!" But you I have loved And I'll bless you forever Last of all Sundays

Sitara ji and Kalanidi, Then I am way older than you guys:)

Finally..this song is dedicated to Sitara ji;)

I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again Then you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love Then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love

How deep is your love, how deep is your love I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down When they all should let us be We belong to you and me

I believe in you You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall And you may not think I care for you When you know down inside that I really do And it's me you need to show How deep is your love

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone You know I feel ok

When I'm home everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do Will make me feel alright Owww!

P.S. I Love You Writers, lead vocals: Lennon, McCartney

As I write this letter, Send my love to you, Remember that I'll always, Be in love with you.

Who wouldn't be mesmerized and smitten by Guru Dutt if he were to describe a woman so beautifully like he did in this old classic...I don't blame Waheeda Rahman for falling in love with the man. Well, theirs was an affair to remember. Anyway, here goes the lyrics.

Memories light the corner of my mind. Misty water color memories Of the way we were. Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, Smiles we gave to one another For the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then, Or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again, Tell me? would we? could we? Memories may be beautiful and yet, What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget. So it's the laughter We will remember, Whenever we remember The way we were; The way we were.

One of my fav. lyrics of Paul Simon

It's a still life water color, Of a now late afternoon, As the sun shines through the curtained lace And shadows wash the room. And we sit and drink our coffee Couched in our indifference, Like shells upon the shore You can hear the ocean roar In The Dangling Conversation And the superficial sighs, The borders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert Frost, And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've lost. Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme, In syncopated time And The Dangling Conversation And the superficial sighs Are the borders of our lives.

Yes we speak of things that matter, With words that must be said, "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly faded And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand, You're a stranger now unto me Lost in The Dangling Conversation And the superficial sighs In the borders of our lives.

Uncle Bob

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd One Slip

A restless eye across a weary room A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without end No hint, no word her honour to defend I will, I will she sighed to my request And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire I lead the way to the funeral pyre And without a thought of the consequence I gave in to my decadence One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you won't forget, There'll be no sleep in here tonight Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you won't forget, There'll be no sleep in here tonight One slip ... one slip

Barbara Streisand ! That's a beautiful song. Another song with the same name, from the musical Cats, is worth hearing too, if you aren't already familiar with it.

Sitara, Those were lyrics that haunted me years ago, doesn't reflect the present. 'Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way... " to quote Pink Floyd, is something I may have indulged in the past.

Another great Floyd Song Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure (tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4. It's to go. (tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots. (to tower): 3-8-Echo Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time. Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, A state of bliss Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Strange Currencies (REM)

I don't know why you're mean to me when I call on the telephone. and I don't know what you mean to me but I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on

These words, "You will be mine." These words, "You will be mine." all the time.

the fool might be my middle name But I'd be foolish not to say I'm going to make whatever it takes, ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love, make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine.

These words, "You will be mine." These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh

I tripped and fell. did I fall. What I want to feel, I want to feel it now

You know with love come strange currencies and here is my appeal:

I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real

These words, "You will be mine" These words, "You will be mine." all the time. oh

These words, "You will be mine." These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,

say, love's confined, oh

I heard the George Michael's version, and I was amazed.

Brother can you spare a dime? by Written by J.Gorney / E.Y. Harburg

Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell Full of that yankee Doodle De Dum. Half a million boots went slogging through hell, And I was the kid with the drum Say, don't you remember they called me Al, It was Al all the time. Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Tracy Chapman New Beginning (1995) At This Point in my Life

Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right Oh I, Oh I've Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right

At this point in my life I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down If you give me a chance I'll try You see it's been a hard road the road I'm traveling on And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can

At this point in my life At this point in my life Although I've mostly walked in the shadows I'm still searching for the light Won't you put your faith in me We both know that's what matters If you give me a chance I'll try You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down I've been reaching high always losing ground You see I've been reaching high but always losing ground You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb And right now right now I'm doing the best I can At this point in my life

Before we take a step Before we walk down that path Before I make any promises Before you have regrets Before we talk commitment Let me tell you of my past All I've seen and all I've done The things I'd like to forget

At this point in my life At this point in my life I'd like to live as if only love mattered As if redemption was in sight As if the search to live honestly Is all that anyone needs No matter if you find it

You see when I've touched the sky The earth's gravity has pulled me down But now I've reconciled that in this world Birds and angels get the wings to fly If you can believe in this heart of mine If you can give it a try Then I'll reach inside and find and give you All the sweetness that I have At this point in my life At this point in my life

Can someone please post the lyrics of "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton?

I feel so unsure as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor. As the music dyes, something in your eyes, calls to mind the silver screen, and all it's sad goodbyes.

Chorus: I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet've got no rythm. Though it's easy to pretend, i know you're not a fool. Shoul've done better than to cheat a friend, and waste the chance that I've been given. So i'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you........

Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend. To the heart and mind ignorance is kind. There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find

chorus

Now that you're gone (now that you're gone), that you had to leave me alone.......

here's a very good song by Manila Sotang from geetinepal. Have you heard this song Suna?

Chipledhunga ji, ... You got me there. I forgot that song. Its been a while. I tried to remember 'that" word. I couldn't. I came to conclusion that it was 'simal'... Palash po ho ni.. Thanks for that...

---------------------

How about this one, I never liked this song when I was in Nepal. They used to give this song everyday in Radio Nepal. But now I am struggling to remember the words. It makes sense now...

Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord, what you're doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord!

Somebody, ooh somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end (of the day) I take home my hard earned pay all on My own-I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyesLord somebody, ooh somebody Can anybody find me-somebody to love?

(He works hard) Everyday-I try and I try and I try But everybody wants to put me down They say I`m goin` crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Aw they ain't got no common sense He's got nobody left to believe in

ooh ooh ooh ooh somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Can anybody find me to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat I`m alright, I`m alright I ain`t gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I`m gonna be free, Lord!

This one used to be my all time favorite and could only be heard on Nepal Radio. If any one of you happens to have an mp3 version of it, I will owe you ek bhada momo and some chyang!

mero pau ma aja kohi pauju badha mero maya ley malai bolayo

mero pau ma aja kohi ghunguru badha mero maya ley malai bolayo

Kalanidhi I'm trying my best to be original here and not be pest and paste. But sometimes you want to share all the words that one has ghoghused and be a pest by pasting. Yo compoooooter niklya dekhi, its become a world of copy and paste and some pests do well in their lives by pasting. But I hear ya!

Ahem ahem...again...this song's dedicated to my D-area teammate;)

Look at this face I know the years are showing Look at this life I still don't know where it's going I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be all I need to know. Look at these eyes They've never seen what mattered Look at this dream, So beaten and so battered I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be all I need to know. So many questions Still left unanswered So much I've never broken through And when I feel you near me Sometimes I see so clearly The only truth I've ever known Is me and you Look at this man So blessed with inspiration .......

ummmmmm!!! now i want her to complete this;)

(here i go with cut and paste... kalanidhi.. hope you don't mind)

Ain't there something I can give you In exchange for everything you give to me Read my mind and make me feel just fine When I think my peace of mind is out of reach

The scales are sometimes unbalanced And you bear the weight of all that has to be I hope you see that you can lean on me And together we can calm a stormy sea

We love so strong and so unselfishly And I tell you now that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, baby Yes I tell you now, that I made a vow I'm giving you the best that I got, honey

Everybody's got opinions 'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill Everybody's gonna have to think again

We love so strong and so unselfishly They don't bother me so I'm gonna keep on Giving you the best that I got, baby They don't bother me, said I'm gonna keep on Giving you the best that I got, listen baby

Somebody understands me Somebody gave his heart to me I stumbled my whole life long Always on my own, now I'm home

My weary mind is rested And I feel as if my home is in your arms Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song And I think I want to sing it forever

We love so strong and so unselfishly And I made a vow so I tell you now I'm giving you the best that I got, baby I bet everything on my wedding ring I'm giving you the best that I got, givin' it to you baby

Soulfree bro.....:) I don't have words to thank you for completing the song. Also, thankful for helping Sitara ji to cut n paste the words to complete the song. Thank you ...thank you so much:)

Sitara Ji, I never received any email from Himali. I don't know what happened last night. There was some technical difficulties in P2P.....:p I kept sending her messages and never got any reply:( Curiosity really killed the cat "Tom":(

DWI Bro, Every single word in this song really touches my heart in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; makes me idealistic without regard to practicality. It reminds me of a moment of my life:)

Sitara Ji, after seein' you call me hero, i can't help but sing these songs.

"...I am so high, I can hear heaven I am so high, I can hear heaven Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me

And they say That a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me Love would all save us But, how can that be Look what love gave us

A world full of killing And blood spilling That world never came

And they say That a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles Watch as we all fly away" --> "spiderman Soundtrack"

"And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you" --> Mariah Carey

"I can be your hero baby I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away" --> Enrique Iglesias

Missed this thread amid all the noise about royal takeover. I don't think i can ever figure out which are my favorites. depends on the mood, etc :) But no harm trying, right. Some are almost the entire albums.

I plan to go to Nepal in coming Spring and definitely wanna do some trekking, ofcourse, if everythng goes well, I wanna do the Kalapatthar Trekking in Khumbu region one more time. I will write if I have to in the future, but for now here is your song:

" SAILING"

I am sailing, I am sailing Home again 'cross the sea I am sailing, stormy waters To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying Like a bird 'cross the sky I am flying, passing high clouds To be with you, to be free

Can you hear me, can you hear me Through the dark night, far away? I am dying, forever trying To be with you, who can say?

We are sailing, we are sailing Home again 'cross the sea We are sailing stormy waters To be near you, to be free

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free Oh Lord

close ur eyes i 'll kiss u tomorrow i 'll miss u remember i'm always be true and then while i'm away i'll write home every day and i'll send all my loving to u

all my loving i'll send to u all my loving darling will be true............

my fav natalie imbruigelia

TORN

that i saw a man brought to life he was warm he came around he was dignified he show mw how it was to cry u could't be that man i adore don't seems to know seems to care what ur heart is for i don't know him anymore nothing where he used to lie conversation has run dry thats what going on nothing fine i'm torn i'm all out of faith this is how i feel i'm cold and i'm shame lying naked on the foor illusion never change into something real ................... i'm torn

"When you say nothing at all" ------------------------------------

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word, you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face Lets me know That you need me There's a truth In your eyes Saying you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says You'll catch me Whenever I fall You say it best When you say Nothing at all

All day long I can hear people Talking out loud But when you hold me near You drown out the crowd

Try as they may They can never define What's been said Between your Heart and mine

I will supply you with the words, you can make up your own tune and music:

Time, time, time; and all it takes is time; for time is a healer, not a thief of mime! Cause the spice of life is not in the sugar nor in the salt, but in the bitter sweet taste of your emotional fault*

Take me to the magic of the moment On the glory night Where the children of tomorrow, dream away In the wind of change

Here's a treat of "cranberries" for you people. I simply adore them. ( pressingly melancholy) their songs are !!

Ode to my family

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me, 'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree. Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me? Do you like me standing there? Do you notice? Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me? Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young, And we didn't give a damn, 'Cause we were raised, To see life as fun and take it if we can. My mother, my mother, She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there. My father, my father, He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my desing. And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am. But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it, 'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this? Do you know you did not find me. You did not find. Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young, And we didn't give a damn, 'Cause we were raised, To see life as fun and take it if we can. My mother, my mother, She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there. My father, my father, He liked me, oh, he liked me.

Does anyone care?... X9 Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

I just ran into this piece...thought worth bringing it forth..

cheers!!

I JUST SHOT JOHN LENNON

It was the fearful night of December 8th. He was returning home from the studio late. He had perseptively known that it wouldn't be nice. Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died. X6

With a Smith & Wesson 38, John Lennon's life was no longer a debate. He should have stayed at home, He should have never cared, And the man who took his life declared,

He said I just shot John Lennon. He said I just shot John Lennon. What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night. What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

Ah, ah ah ah, ah...

I just shot John Lennon. He said I just shot John Lennon. What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night. What a sad and sorry and sickening sight. What a sad and sorry and sickening night.

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far JUst 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You see me old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He sayshis body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way I remember we wre driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone, Be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way

For me, copying 'n pasting of lyrics is absolutely acceptable. Here I am completely going against Kalanidhi’s tainted 'niti'. I wonder how some people can type the whole song….ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

Soldier of fortune I have often told you stories About the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When I'd take your hand And sing you songs Then maybe you would say Come lay with me love me And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you But those days I thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be A soldier of fortune

Well guys this song always reminds me of those times... of those days which are long gone now...

"Graduation (Friends Forever)"- Vitamin C

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And we got so blue Stay at home talking on the telephone We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels

As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back now Will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single rule Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels

As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round? Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly...

Lord Shiva - The Lord of the Dance of the Universe -------------------------------------------------------------

I am Shiva, the voice of destruction, and the voice of the mountain I appear in earthquakes, as matter crashes and separates, and I come forth out the abyss.

I am bright and dark Male and female The spirit which cracks through matter As I rise through destruction, I am the burning sky.

I can save whom I choose, and they are brought back to their roots in Truth I create layer upon layer, form upon form, And my three eyes mark the points of the sacred triangle The yantra through which the devotee may travel.

The flames of destruction are the fires of creation, and I make and remake worlds My devotees travel the roads of blue lightning through the storm clouds, praying to Shiva Lord of the Dance of the Universe.

The myths make me old, lame, drunk, lustful, and uncaring I am not old but ancient beyond days Not lame but holding back from action, for my power can destroy Not drunk but full of the soma of universal vision. Not lustful but passionate in the grasping of changing forms, and the creation of new ones Uncaring that all things must change eternally.

In fire, my dark side is the smoke, and my bright side is the flame My brilliance is the blue at the wick My devotees must beware, for they come to identify with my power, and they believe they have my spirit Instead they have insight into my actions And the tiny grain of my power that they grasp swells their egos into identification with me This is dangerous, and in future lives they will fall Devotees seek the bliss of merging into the fullness of my power But none on earth have gained identification The world is a place of Maya with many false claimants Who use me as a flag to conquer land and people.

Meditate on the bursting open of sky and earth, and on fiery rain and blue-white lightning Beyond these are Kailash Whose icy caves are the crystal yantras of light which create worlds Enter the yantras of light, and their centers will melt away into great tunnels of light In my form as brilliance, I am infinite Truth And all things return to me.

I am SO happy to see the song you quote above on Lord Shiva. I've been a Shiva bhakta since my girlhood and the Lord resides in every atom and aspect of my being....Indeed, the Lord is destruction Himself. But as His devotee, I surrender to Him in fullness and seek refuge at His blessed feet. And the lord, Bholenath, more Bhola than Bhairav, with his compassionate eyes and benevolent smile that permeates through the spirit soiled with the turmoils of life, places His blessed hand on his devotees and all sorrows melt away....

In college, during a Hinduism course, I recall my prof., also a Shaivite like myself, reciting hymns by South Indian Shiva devotees. And I was overwhelmingly overcome with a feeling I cannot yet name, nor think I ever can--but could only touch the silent tears on my face. The class had to pause for 5 mins to allow me to gain composure!

Yes indeed I'm alone again and here comes emptiness crashing in it's either love or hate I can't find in between cause I've been with witches and I have been with a queen.....

yes ben harper it is!!...another lonely day...and on n on he goes whining...till the end of the song...

another one ...by the doors...heroin...love it

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me now, you guys And a You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
